“I know every member of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners joins me in prayer for the victims and their families. The alleged shooter was never a member of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners and is in no way connected to the organization. I know that our members are of the highest character, and examples of Colorado’s finest law-abiding citizens,” continued Brown.

“Furthermore, the blatant attempt by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to use the blood of these innocents to advance his radical political agenda is disgusting. Mayor Bloomberg’s campaign succeeded in disarming not just these movie-goers, but has created millions of gun-free criminal-safezones across the county.”

“The victims of this heinous act will not be comforted by being exploited for political gain by elected officials, especially the mayor of one of the most violent cities in the country,” concluded Brown.

@Andreas: I guess growing up and living in Germany would explain you nonsensical questions about the NRA and your misguided assumption that the Firearms Industry is opposed to free speech, possibly you could take a American class on the constitution to better understand how the US Bill of Rights acknowledges our God given right to have a gun for self defense as a free person. Also, buy a gun and you will see for yourself what it is like to be in control of your own destiny and not at the mercy of a criminal.

Homeless people getting stabbing in downtown L.A. If they’d been armed they could have defended themselves. Andreas Moser is a fool and an enemy of the American way of life.

Very well said Ammoland. Both the article and the response. Leave it to someone like an Andreas Moser to try and trivialise and politicize human tragedy. Not to mention blatant untruths to further their own means.

To anyone who would read this, please stay safe and vigilant. Deepest sympathies to those that are touched by this senseless act.

It is deranged to believe that we do not need real, rational gun control. The argument that we should all bear arms in order to protect our selves and families from the criminals with guns is no longer a valid argument. Perhaps true in the old west but not in the 21st century. To many dead in schools, theaters, malls, etc. Sad but true. Too many of those that we would otherwise think are “sane” seem to snap and commit these mass murders. Come to grip with the reality that many in this country are tired of the NRA staunch position against even the most minimal of gun control.

I was going to post something rational, something logical, that would help you understand why we need stringent gun control in the US, but when I read these posts, I realize there is no compromise. You will by god have your way, and your guns, and the rest of us just don’t matter, including the dead children. Your Mr. Brown stated we would use the bodies of dead children to promote our agenda. Would he have us sweep the dead children under a rug? “Don’t give an inch”… indeed.

You and everyone like you have blood on your hands today! How dare you say we would use the bodies of dead children to promote our agenda. If we promoted our agenda in the first place there would be far fewer bodies of dead children. It is time for the sane rational people in this country to take back the conversation on the right to bear arms. We are fed up with the NRA pushing for more lax gun laws!

Evil will always be evil and if you took every legal gun away from this country, evil will still happen. This kid took his mother’s weapons and then turned them on her and a bunch of children. And Wendy Bigham, shame on you for demonizing 1/3 of the United States who exersize their God-given rights legally and responsibly. As is typical, the anti-gunners come out in droves to politicize tragedies such as this. That is what you people do.

Colin: Do you really think arming the homeless would make LA’s downtown safer? Please tell me you were being sarcastic.

Capt. Howdy: 2nd amendment is far from a “God-given” right. It was written in 1793 by men who could not have possibly imagined modern weaponry. No parent wants to dress their kids for school in bulletproof vests, or try and talk their teachers into getting concealed weapons permits. You gun nuts are sounding increasingly looped.

Just now am listing to bama and his lies and reading the Post’s pushing of his lies via their ‘rational’ newspaper. Maybe if we cancel our subscriptions by RMGO members the Post may just see the light. No?
